I think I found a pink Butterfree in silver. And I suppose the red Gyarados that you find in the middle of the lake doesn't really count, huh... Well, 4 games, 2 replayed, probably 150 hours of total play time, and all I have to show for it is one so-so shiny in a game that I can't find that's not compatible with wi-fi. =/ Well, I'm currently soft resetting trying for a Mewtwo in Fire Red, if I'm lucky I'll get him before the world ends in 2012.

So ... I guess this is where I GUSH about how I finally (after 2 years and playing through Fire Red, Emerald, Leaf Green and Heart Gold for I don't know how many bleedin' hours) caught a SHINY!!!! Yaaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!! (Okay, I don't count the Red Gyrardos in HG - everyone gets that one - even me.)

At about 9:30 a.m., MST I caught a SHINY NIDORINA!!!! (Caught on Rt. 15, Kanto.)

Well, it's the first for me that I actually caught. I did see one shiny zubat in LG, but accidentally fainted it before I caught it.

Very happy now!

I was Ditto hunting on Emerald when I came across a shocking pink Whismur with neon green ears. Almost didn't believe I had found it, but I managed to get it with a thunderwave and a normal ball. That's actually a first for me, catching one with a poke ball. With most of the others, I either used dusk balls, and in Electrike's case, I freaked out and chucked my master at it. So... anyway... I cloned it once, then once again, and evolved the original all the way and the first clone once. Then I got all hyped up and started chaining some duskull. It didn't go too well though...

Don't feel too bad Everlasting . . . this was only the 2nd shiny I've ever encountered (not including the Red Gyarados). I've played through FR, LG, Ruby & HG. The first one was a Zubat in Leaf Green . . . that I accidentally smashed before I could catch it. <sigh> But this does give me hope of maybe, eventually, finding another.

In Silver:In Sapphire: (not though)In Emerald: (from ) - I love how it's blue! I named her (Calm nature) Icewing. and it was the safari zone too! (I nearly missed the sparkle) it's green, and is a jolly nature. I plan to evolve it.Diamond:Nothing so farPearl:None so farPlatinum: it had pokerus too! I'm so lucky! I bred and it's a wish+Curse Eevee, male. I'm not trading him! > I haven't got the time to trade to get yetSoul Silver:Other than the Red Gyarados, I have: the first one I caught > My brother "accidentally" released it. I doubt it, as I seriously think that he did it on purpose. It took me forever, but it's a sassy nature... That's all I have, and I'm not intending to be a Shiny hunter. Well, except for the Eevee. I was trying to get a Timid Female so I can get an Espeon, but I ended up with an Adamant male with Wish+Curse.

well the ones i caught or bred myself that i still have are:Ruby: Linoone, Spinda, Grimer, SpoinkSappire: SableyeFire Red: Ekans, Zubat (evolved to Golbat, then Crobat)Diamond: Bidoof (evolved into Bibarel), Gyarados, Eevee (evolved into Umbreon), Carnivine, Skarmory, Pichu (from wifi event)I have a bunch I got from trades / GTS, which i wont bother listing, cause half of them are prolly hax. like that level 1 shiny shaymin..... its so cute tho, i couldn't just release it

[color=olive]I have played Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Crystal, Emerald, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Diamond, Pearl and Heart Gold though all of my shinies I've encountered are only in Pearl. I have encountered and captured three Geodude, all still Geodude, Whiscash and Abra which is now an Alakazam. I have also encountered and captured the give away Lake of Rage Gyarados and I do feel the need to mention the pity shiny Pok

So far I only captured a shiny Unown on Pokemon Crystal.(I wonder if it stil works)And in leafgreen I encounterd a shiny mankee but my starter was too eager and crit it And of course the usual red Gyarados from lake Rage.

Slightly off-topic: Does anyone know when an egg is determined to hatch shiny? When the egg is received or just as it hatches...?

What determines if a pokemon in a egg will be Shiny is set the minute the egg is created which means after you take those 200 & something steps which generates the egg at the Day-Care before you even get back there so you actually have to save, hatch the egg & if not shiny, make another 1 & repeat the process...

I just LITERALLY got a shiny Rayquaza in Sapphire!I was bored, and I was SR'ing Rayquaza, and battled it not just 5 minutes ago, and it was shiny!So I caught it with Master Ball. (I saved the M.B. for this.) (shiny) l Quirky Nature l Air LockRestExtremespeedOutrageFly

I captured a shiny Roselia in my HeartGold. I only realized it because I didn't recollect it having black petals on one arm. As of right now it's the only one I've ever (knowingly) encountered and captured aside from the Red Gyarados. But I will hopefully EVENTUALLY get a shiny Scyther.
